Fix 50 Westbound Closures: May 27-June 25

Caltrans will begin construction May 27 on the westbound portion of the Highway 50 Viaduct between W and X streets. The rehabilitation project will continue through June 25 and may cause traffic delays of up to one hour along Highway 50, connected freeways and on surface streets near the Sacramento City College main campus and outreach centers.

Information about Fix 50, including project updates and alternate routes, is available at www.fix50.com.

Use of alternate transportation — such as carpooling, bicycling and the RT Light Rail, bus and park-and-ride options — may help ease congestion and be more convenient for the rider. For public transit information, visit the Sacramento Regional Transit site, www.sacrt.com.

Eastbound construction began April 22 and was completed May 2, ahead of the target completion date of May 21.

The Fix 50 construction schedule overlaps with the SCC’s Spring 2014 semester and summer session. It also coincides with some key dates and events for the college:

April 14-18: Spring Recess

April 26: Sacramento Republic FC soccer game

May 15-21: Finals Week

May 21: Commencement (at Hughes Stadium) and end of Spring 2014 semester
